Nothing on the site, trying to find out. Got to be a massive breach of discipline to give the wording of having his contract terminated. If it was mutual then it would have been worded differently

No! not yet.

Indeed, especially as we are short of bodies again.

It certainly smacks of a sacking given the distinct lack of details.

I hope it's not history repeating itself.

I wonder if it has anything to do with what someone posted last week about something having happened that would cause ripples.
Can't remember who or what was posted

Lee Radford must have typed the press release....

Certainly seems like an odd way to say he's left the club if was a mutual agreement.

Very blunt and to the point.

So maybe it wasn't by mutual agreement.

You can’t terminate a players contract because you’re over cap. Must have been a naughty boy?

Swing doors at the K C at the moment.

From what I hear, he just realised that the full time environment wasn't for him. If true, I would expect a more thorough press release to come

Id imagine that Langtree probably just thought what is the point. Hes excelled in the reserves but isnt getting in the first team so whats the point in all that travelling, all that effort in training for nothing. Im fairly sure he loved it at Oldham and was Oldham through and through so he'll end up back there

Apparently he has other business interests outside of RL. If he has decided that professional RL isn't for him and that he is going to focus on those instead then that's absolutely fine. But if that is the only issue then it's a dreadful press release.

I don't know if we have been "over the cap" per se. But we have clearly gotten ourselves in a situation where we have players on our books who we can't afford to play because doing so would take us over the cap. At least the recent leavers should take a bit of pressure off.

Known in the trade as injuries.

or maybe fulltime didn't suit him and he realises it isn't for him, good luck to him whatever he does,

Well that's certainly a part of it yes. But what's the point having a big squad if a load of them can't play anyway?

He's gone back to Oldham.They've just tweeted.

Oldham RLFC are delighted to confirm @dannylangtree is coming home on a contract until 30 November 2020. Welcome back Langers @Roughyeds

It's a balancing act, AP said our cap was based on around 30 players, so that leaves the top 25 earners plus any 5 or so from the rest, who would also be part of the reserves.
Saints have a much lower figure than 30, so would also be struggling if they had the same injury list as us.
If the players outside the "cap base" are being paid peanuts, then it won't impact on the cap if they have to play, I suspect that's why we're struggling with the numbers game.
I'd imagine Ellis and Savelio will have pushed a couple of players out of the top 25 to 30 earners bracket, making the sums even harder

My opinion is he thought what do i have to do to get a chance when he sees the clubs injury list.he pulled out of the Doncaster squad on Sunday so probably thats the breach of discipline
